Upon loading
Butchered Creatures (alkdm13) by Shaun [Kona]
Ross, you are suddenly placed on a futuristic
platform containing both a top and bottom
level and several smaller sub-levels. Just
take a look at the screenshot and see for
yourself. To continue, this futuristic layout
and architecture feel is then altered with
the addition of old and rusty custom textures.
To top off the eye candy, a fantasy style
skybox surrounds the platform and makes
Butchered Creatures complete in the eye
candy department. Trust me, it's much better
than looking than the standard black skybox
you see in most space/floater maps.
Continuous praise must go towards the originality,
which is something that you don't get with
other space/floater maps. Quite frankly,
it shows that Shaun [Kona] Ross put some
thought into making Butchered Creatures.
Just look at the screenshot again if you
don't believe me. Offline users won't be
disappointed either, as it is hard to find
faults with the bot support. Put plainly,
each bot plays hard, frags hard and navigates
the level flawlessly.
Fault-wise, the only major problem with
Butchered Creatures is that nearly all of
the action occurs on the top level. Sure,
you may venture down to the bottom level
to pick up some more armor or get the odd
frag here and there, but most of the action
occurs on top. This is a pity as I can say
nothing but good things about the connectivity.
The little sub-levels, the arches and the
overall layout keep the gameplay flowing
fast and constant. So, it's a shame that
the rest of the map wasn't used as much.
Finally, if you are after something different
that both looks and plays good, Butchered
Creatures is probably right up your alley.
